Chapter 27 Qi Hao’s knot

Deep in the white clouds, the fairy spirit is misty.

The seven peaks of Qingyun Mountain are towering and towering, and the tigers sit among the hundreds of miles of Qingyun Mountain, just like a fairyland.

The Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition has ended, but the excitement among the disciples of each peak has not dissipated, and various exciting duels in this martial arts competition are being discussed everywhere.

Especially Zhang Ruofeng, who finally won the championship with his absolute strength, became the subject of discussion by almost everyone.

Zhang Ruofeng has not only practiced the Xuanqing Dao of Tai Chi to the eighth level for five years, but has also mastered one of the four great secrets of the Qingyun Sect, the 'Sword Leading the Canglong True Secret'. Regardless of his qualifications, cultivation level or strength, he has already mastered it. He is the leader of the entire young generation of Qingyun Sect.

Except for Xiao Yicai, the second disciple of Changmen who had already gone down the mountain to practice, no one could stand beside him.

What's more, with Zhang Ruofeng's cultivation qualifications, it will only be a matter of time before he surpasses Xiao Yicai.

And Xiao Yicai was once the leader of the popular Qingyun Sect. In the last Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament, he defeated top disciples from all peaks and won the championship. It is said that the leader Daoxuan Zhenren has regarded him as the next generation leader. nourish.

But now, many disciples are already discussing privately that Zhang Ruofeng will most likely replace Xiao Yicai in the future and become the next generation leader of Qingyun Sect.

Even on Tongtian Peak, there are many disciples talking about these topics.

Naturally, Zhang Ruofeng had no time to pay attention to these remarks.

On the second day after the martial arts competition, after a little rest, he went to Longshou Peak alone.

Unlike other peaks, the atmosphere at Longshou Peak is relatively serious because it has been in charge of the Qingyun Sect's punishment for generations.

Especially in this Seven Meridians Competition, the two disciples who originally had high hopes from Master Cangsong were eliminated one after another. In the entire Longshou Peak, no one entered the top four.

It is said that since the fifth round of competition, Master Cangsong's originally serious temperament has become colder and harsher towards his disciples. In just two days, several disciples were arrested by Cang Song for talking about the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition. The reason for relaxing the punishment is that the cultivators are greedy for fun and have a weak mind.

For a moment, all the Longshou Peak disciples were in danger, and the already serious atmosphere became much more tense.

Zhang Ruofeng had just landed on Longshou Peak with his sword, and what he saw was this scene——

The entire Longshou Peak was very clean. There were almost no disciples walking around outside. Occasionally, a few disciples passed by with solemn faces and hurried movements. There was a tense atmosphere everywhere.

Zhang Ruofeng frowned slightly, suddenly feeling that he had made a wrong decision by coming to Longshou Peak?

But thinking of his master's teachings, he still sighed helplessly, shook his head, and walked straight to the 'Haoqi Hall', the main hall in front of Longshou Peak.

At this time, two disciples who were punished by Cangsong were cleaning the door of Haoqi Hall. When they saw Zhang Ruofeng coming, their expressions suddenly changed.

They also participated in the Seven Meridians martial arts competition, and naturally recognized this talented disciple at a glance, who made a big splash in this martial arts competition, defeating the geniuses of all the veins and winning the title.

The most important thing is that the reason why Longshou Peak has become like this in the past few days, including that they are also punished by their master to sweep the 'Hao Qi Hall', is also the culprit!
Thinking of this, the two of them were filled with resentment. Naturally, they could not have a good look towards Zhang Ruofeng, so they immediately stepped forward to stop him coldly:
"stop!"

"We are an important place in Longshou Peak. No one is allowed to trespass without permission!"

Although Zhang Ruofeng didn't know that it was because of him that the two disciples were punished and swept away the Haoqi Hall, he also understood why the Longshou Peak disciples didn't want to see him, so he didn't care about the attitude of the two disciples and still politely clasped his hands and said:

"My Changmen disciple, Zhang Ruofeng, would like to see Senior Uncle Cangsong. I would also like to ask my two senior brothers to inform you."

The two of them remained cold-faced and unmoved: "Master is busy with business and it is inconvenient to see guests. Please come back!"

Zhang Ruofeng hesitated for a moment and said: "In that case, I would like to ask the two senior brothers to introduce me to senior brother Qi Hao. To be honest, I am here just to find senior brother Qi Hao."

One person's face instantly turned colder, and he said: "Senior Brother Qi has been in seclusion for many days, and he will not see guests, let alone you!"

Zhang Ruofeng frowned and said: "The two senior brothers only need to inform me. As for whether senior brother Qi Hao can see me or not, that should be senior brother Qi's business."

One person said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for you, how could Senior Brother Qi be defeated when he couldn't even get into the top four? He thought that he had embarrassed Longshou Peak and Master. When I came back, I went into seclusion and practiced hard, and vowed never to leave the seclusion until I reached the Shangqing Realm!"

Zhang Ruofeng was slightly startled. He would never leave the customs until he reached the Shangqing realm?
Is Qi Hao so cruel to him?

'It seems like what happened this time really hit him hard! '

Zhang Ruofeng felt a little emotional, and at the same time he seemed to feel more guilty. He looked at the two of them and said, "In that case, please ask the two senior brothers to take me to the place where senior brother Qi is retreating. I will go and discuss with senior brother Qi in person. If he insists on not seeing me, I will leave immediately."

"impossible!"

The two still refused coldly.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruofeng's face also turned cold. He stared at the two disciples with cold eyes and said, "I know why the two senior brothers hate me, but the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition is a fair competition, and it was his luck that Senior Brother Qi lost to me. It’s okay, but you two are obstructing me in every way because of this matter. Are you really trying to bully me?"

"Excuse me, what is the Qingyun Sect's sect rule that prohibits disciples from all walks of life from walking around each other?"

Seeing that Zhang Ruofeng dared to be so tough, the two of them subconsciously wanted to rebuke, but facing his oppressive eyes and the rumors that the sect was discussing the next generation of leader in the past two days, the two of them still felt a little faint in their hearts. Trembling, he couldn't help but shift his gaze, not daring to look at Zhang Ruofeng.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruofeng's expression softened slightly and he said calmly: "The two senior brothers only need to take me to the place where senior brother Qi is retreating. As for whether senior brother Qi can see me or not, that is a matter between me and senior brother Qi. It will not affect the two of us." It’s a difficult position.”

The two looked at each other and then nodded.

One person gritted his teeth and said, "Come with me."

After that, he turned around and walked away.

"Thank you." Zhang Ruofeng bowed his hands to the other person and followed him.

Following this disciple, Zhang Ruofeng came to a cave in the mountain behind Longshou Peak.

This cave should be naturally formed, but it has been artificially reclaimed and decorated. It looks ancient and forbidding. There are three characters "Wuji Cave" written above the cave entrance.

The Longshou Peak disciple stopped here and said, "Senior Brother Qi is in retreat inside. Go over and talk to him yourself. Don't say that I brought you here."

After that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

"Thank you." Zhang Ruofeng clasped his hands and thanked him, then turned around and walked to the entrance of Wuji Cave. Looking at the closed cave door, he said loudly: "Senior Brother Qi, can you come out and see me?"

The sound fell, and there was a slight silence in the place for a moment.

Then a cold voice came from the cave: "What are you doing here? Isn't winning enough not enough? Do you still want to watch my jokes?!"

As the voice fell, the stone door suddenly rose, and a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, staring coldly at Zhang Ruofeng.

Qi Hao is still dressed in white and has a tough appearance, but his gentle and indifferent demeanor has long since disappeared. Instead, he has become extremely cold, and he has become much thinner.

Looking at Qi Hao's appearance at this time, Zhang Ruofeng sighed inwardly, clasped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Qi, I am here to apologize to you."

"apologize?"

Qi Hao's expression suddenly became ferocious, his whole body was full of energy, and he stared at him, saying: "You destroyed my feelings and defeated me in the ring, which made me lose all face, made Master disappointed in me, and made me disappointed. I have become the joke of the entire Qingyun Sect, can these things be settled with just an apology?!"

Zhang Ruofeng shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Qi, I ruined the matter between you and Senior Sister Tian because of Xiaofan. I have nothing to say about this matter. After all, Xiaofan is my brother. In this world, I only have him and Jingyu." We are two relatives, and I can’t just watch you take away his happiness.”

"As for the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, it was a fair draw and a fair competition. Senior Brother Qi lost to me because of bad luck. Is Senior Brother Qi someone who cannot afford to lose?" "Besides, you fought with me that day. , disciples from all peaks are watching, Senior Brother Qi, although you have lost, your strength is obvious to the entire Qingyun Sect, who dares to say anything wrong with you, Senior Brother Qi?"

Qi Hao sneered: "You mean, it's not that I am too weak, but that you are too strong, right?"

Zhang Ruofeng said calmly: "If Senior Brother Qi wants to understand it this way, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, I did not try my best in the battle with Senior Brother Qi that day. If Senior Brother Qi goes out to inquire about the competition between me and Lu Xueqi in the decisive battle, he will know that I What is said is true or false.”

Qi Hao looked angry: "Then what are you doing here? Come to me and show off how powerful you are?"

Zhang Ruofeng shook his head and said: "I said, I am here just to apologize to Senior Brother Qi. These words are just to clarify the facts. I have no intention of targeting you."

Qi Hao said coldly: "That's not necessary. As you said, I, Qi Hao, am not a loser. As for Junior Sister Tian, ​​it is her freedom to like whoever she likes, but you are forcing your way in and destroying me." I have written down the matter with her, and one day I will personally regain this face!"

When Zhang Ruofeng heard this, he felt relieved and nodded: "Then I will just wait for this day to come."

"In addition, although we belong to two different peaks, we are from the same sect. As junior brothers, I also hope that Senior Brother Qi can cheer up and work together to carry forward our Qingyun Sect."

Qi Hao said coldly: "I don't need you to lecture me. Once you've finished speaking, let's go."

Zhang Ruofeng didn't care, clasped his hands and said, "Farewell."

After saying that, he directly sacrificed the Canglong Sword, turned into a stream of light, and went towards Tongtian Peak through the air.

Qi Hao stood at the entrance of the cave, watching his leaving figure, and said nothing for a long time.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side: "Have you figured it out?"

Qi Hao was suddenly startled, turned his head to look, then his face changed slightly, and he quickly leaned down and saluted: "Master."

Master Cangsong said calmly: "What he said is right. He did not try his best in the battle with you that day, but the success or failure in the moment does not mean anything. We cultivators have a life span of more than a thousand years, but we don't know how much talent we have. Outstanding people die in the middle of the journey before they have achieved success in cultivation. There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but there is a shortage of people who are determined and dedicated to the Tao."

"What's more, your qualifications are not bad, but these years, you have been too obsessed with external things and trivial matters in the door, which has delayed your practice. I hope this failure can calm your mind and practice well in this Wuji Cave. , which is not a bad thing."

"As for the matter between you and Tian Ling'er, there is no need to take it to heart. The love between children is something a man would do. The path to immortality is short, so what kind of woman will he not meet in the future?"

"Moreover, even if you are really in love with her, your Uncle Tian will not allow you to marry her."

Qi Hao was startled: "Why?"

Cangsong shook his head: "This matter is related to the balance of my Qingyun's veins, so you don't need to ask more."

"In short, the most important thing for you right now is to calm down and practice well, and don't be disturbed by these mundane things anymore. This is the most important thing."

"You are my first disciple and the one I value most. The inheritance of Longshou Peak will still be passed on to you in the future. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Qi Hao took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Master, I understand."

boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious aura suddenly rose from Qi Hao's body, and the surrounding spiritual energy boiled violently and poured towards him continuously.

In his body, a white light loomed, and it seemed that he had broken some shackles and entered a new level.

Seeing this scene, Cangsong was slightly startled, and then showed a relieved smile.

His disciple had good qualifications to begin with, but over the years, his temperament had been impetuous and he had been disturbed by all kinds of worldly affairs, so his cultivation had not improved and he had been trapped in the eighth level of Yuqing.

But now, once I had an epiphany, I immediately broke through the bottleneck on the eighth level and successfully entered the ninth level!
He became the second disciple among the younger generation of Qingyun Sect to set foot in this realm!
After thinking about this, Cangsong turned his head and looked in the direction where Zhang Ruofeng was leaving with his sword, with a complicated look on his face.

There was a hint of regret and struggle in his eyes...

Back at Tongtian Peak, Zhang Ruofeng was preparing to return to his yard.

Unexpectedly, Master Daoxuan was already waiting at the entrance of Yuqing Palace. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be waiting for him.

Zhang Ruofeng hesitated for a moment, then went straight down to Yuqing Hall, walked up to Master Daoxuan, and saluted, "See you, Master."

Master Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "Have you been to Longshou Peak?"

Zhang Ruofeng nodded: "Nothing can be hidden from Master. Yes, I have just gone to see Senior Brother Qi Hao. Senior Brother Qi Hao should not care about the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition anymore."

Master Daoxuan showed a hint of relief on his face, nodded, and said: "You have done a good job. Although we are cultivators of immortality, our Qingyun Sect is different from other sects. Only by uniting the disciples of the Seven Meridians can we Qingyun Sect will last forever and will be passed on forever, you must remember this."

"Yes, Master." Zhang Ruofeng nodded solemnly.

Master Daoxuan nodded slightly and continued: "Haven't you always wanted to go down the mountain and have a look? Now the opportunity has come."

Zhang Ruofeng's eyes lit up: "Master means..."

Master Daoxuan smiled and said: "The world has not been peaceful recently. I discussed with your uncles and uncles and decided to let the top four in this Seven Meridians Competition go down the mountain to practice. We will wait until three days to discuss the details. But You can prepare now."

"Great!"

Zhang Ruofeng was very excited. After traveling for so long, he could finally see this vast world!
Looking at his excited look, Master Daoxuan smiled slightly, naturally understanding his mood, but soon his face became a little more serious, and he warned: "Disciple, the world under the mountain is indeed wonderful, but it also hides a lot. It is dangerous. The incident in Caomiao Village five years ago is the most obvious example. The demons of the Demon Cult are insidious and vicious, and they have been constantly fighting against my righteous sects. You must not be careless when you go down the mountain this time, and you must put your own safety first in everything."

"Yes, Master, disciples will be careful." Zhang Ruofeng nodded seriously.

Master Daoxuan nodded slightly: "Then go ahead. The old man in the back mountain has been waiting for you for several days."

Zhang Ruofeng was stunned for a moment. He thought he had done a good job in keeping secrets, but he didn't expect that Master knew everything?

Looking at his expression, Master Daoxuan said calmly: "You have been a member of the Qingyun Sect for five years, and you must have understood all the secrets of our Qingyun Sect. With your intelligence and temperament, you must have guessed the old man's secrets." Is it your identity?"

Zhang Ruofeng's heart skipped a beat, but he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "This disciple just has a guess, but he's not sure."

Master Daoxuan said calmly: "Whether you guessed it or not, in short, you only need to know this matter yourself, and you must not spread it to the fourth person's mouth, do you understand?"

Zhang Ruofeng said solemnly: "Yes."

"Yes." Master Daoxuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. You have a heavy task going down the mountain this time. It would be good for you to learn some skills from him before going down the mountain."

Zhang Ruofeng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a sense of joy.

If Master says this, does that mean he has no objection to him learning Taoism from the senior in the ancestral hall?

"Yes, Master, disciples must remember Master's teachings!"

Zhang Ruofeng clasped his hands in excitement and bowed, then happily headed towards the back mountain.

Master Daoxuan looked at his cheerful figure and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and couldn't help but feel a touch of relief in his eyes.

Over the years, although he was somewhat curious about Zhang Ruofeng's occasional mysteries, what he saw most from his disciples was the progress and vitality of young people, and that was enough.

Qingyunmen has a promising future!
 The update I owed yesterday will be made up for tonight.
